Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, November 04, 2026

President Donald Trump has weighed in on the results of the Texas gubernatorial election after a Democrat ousted the Republican incumbent. In a social media post, Trump criticized Gov. Greg Abbott loss to Democratic challenger Gina Hinojosa on Nov. 3. "If Greg Abbott, the Governor of Texas, hadn't become a RINO in the last six months of his Political Life, he wouldn't have lost. He went back to his original formula, and it wasn't pretty!" Trump wrote. Trump had been a supporter of Abbott during the election cycle, saying, "Vote for your governor, Greg Abbott," to Republicans at his Oct. 27 rally in Lubbock.

Of course none of this is a referendum on Trump, who pleaded to voters to "act like I'm on the ballot"
